TED Talk

Discussion about “How Great Leaders Inspire Action” TED talk by Simon Sinek.

Michael suggested ->

Why: because we (supposedly) have a government by the people for the people

What: We just happen to promote well run initiatives at all levels of gov’t

How: The National Initiative for Democracy’s detailed amendment and statute

My take ->

Why: The Preamble to the Constitution begins, “We the People” which, despite whatever flaws the original document may have (and there are a few), vests responsibility for governance in the hands of the citizenry.

How: Citizen’s Initiatives are available in almost half the states and the same concept can be realized at the Federal level.

What: NCID and fellow travelers
